Nicely done!
Here's a tip for you, though. Go buy some spray vinyl dye. It comes in a can that looks JUST like spray paint. It works wonders on those seats.
I did the seats on my daytona (exact same seats you have there), and they look a million times nicer. All dark black and glossy.
Never had any problems with it coming off or anything. Worked incredibly well and was easy to do.
oh yeah- which exhaust is going on there? Better at least be a high mount or I call foul. An underseat would be the shizzle... I have a Wolf. AWESOME. I think Grashopr (posted earlier) has a Black Widow on his 'tona.... been a while since I saw it, though.

Ok, that would be cool, too.
You might just want to buy a corbin and see what colors they can do it in. It's a HELL of a lot better than the stock seat, and is probably not much more than having yours done in leather.
No idea if they can do tan, but they have about a gazillion options on their site....

Waiting on a bunch of misc parts to arrive to put the rest toghther.
Need to find a coil plug but am having zero luck.
Had time to work on it today.........but it was 66 degrees and sunny here in Colorado so I decided to put off working on the Speedy until another day and took the R1 for a very nice long ride. ;)
I did at least roll it outside and take a camera phone pic. Wish I could have got the sun on the paint, it is sooooo sexy in the sun.
